The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 635: Mighty Erlang Shen

Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Mighty Erlang Shen

"How did this guy get so strong overnight?"

On the surface, Sun Wukong appeared haughty and fierce, but inside he was experiencing a storm of shock and disbelief.

Reaching Daluo had been a result of many fortunate opportunities for him, damn, Yuan Hong had advanced to Daluo overnight, he couldn’t help but question his life.

Could it be Qin Jun?

The incident with the Extreme Flame Demon God and the words spoken by the Black Sea King Whale all indicated that Qin Jun had an extraordinary background, perhaps far beyond their imagination.

Breaking through from Taiyi Xuanxian to Daluo Golden Immortal would certainly invite a heaven-shaking calamity, yet last night on Fox King Island there was not even a hint of disturbance, as if nothing had happened.

"Hmph, now you’ve got some qualifications!"

Facing Yuan Hong’s strong provocation, Sun Wukong snorted, his heart full of fighting spirit, as if his blood were ablaze, itching to battle Sun Wukong on the spot.

Qin Jun, who was watching, felt a headache coming on, and hurriedly instructed Yuan Hong, "I will hold a banquet in the future to invite the lords from all domains, and your fight will be the opening act. I hope you can hold back for now, as this is an opportunity for the Great Qin Heavenly Court to shake the world and for your name to spread far and wide."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong’s brows immediately furrowed.

Inviting the lords from all domains?

This would be a rare grand event, possibly even leaving a mark in history. Thinking of Sun Wukong as a rare rival he had encountered, he could only control himself.

"Your subordinate will naturally heed Your Majesty’s words!" Yuan Hong saluted and looked at Sun Wukong with a glint in his eyes as if he, too, had fiery eyes and a golden gaze.

Sun Wukong also looked fearlessly back at Yuan Hong, and if it weren’t for his promise to Qin Jun, he truly wished to whip out his Ruyi Jingu Bang and fight Yuan Hong for three thousand rounds.

"Alright, disperse, all of you. Before the official duel, neither of you are to provoke the other privately. This is also a matter of respect for the strong. Anyone who breaks this will not be severely punished by me, but I will look down upon you."

Qin Jun said softly, waving his hand. It sounded light, but it was undoubtedly the most severe punishment.

If he looked down upon Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong’s future prospects would be done for.

If he looked down upon Sun Wukong, he would become enemies with Sun Wukong later on.

Yuan Hong, with his talents as a great general, naturally understood. Even though Sun Wukong was arrogant, he wasn’t foolish. After all, he had been studying under Ancestral Patriarch Bodhi, who had tapped his head three times, making him wise and he learned the true essential skills; thus, he also understood the depth of these words.

"Let’s go, don’t disturb His Majesty’s cultivation!"

Yuan Hong took the lead in leading Plum Mountain’s six freaks and the demon army away, and Sun Wukong also left grumbling.

The mighty demon army and the Weihe Army didn’t dare to linger, and soon there was no one else above Fox King Island but Qin Jun.

Once everyone had left, Qin Jun’s cold expression softened and he even revealed a smile, murmuring to himself, "Hmph, you really think I can’t handle you?"

As if!

After all, I’m the Holy Emperor, why should I let two monkeys ride over my head?

Qin Jun thought proudly. Although he liked and respected Sun Wukong very much, if he didn’t assert his authority now, that monkey Sun would dare to defecate on his head in the future.

The emperor changes, but this year it’s my turn!

This classic phrase of Sun Wukong’s was something Qin Jun remembered well and couldn’t forget.

...

In the blink of an eye, another five days had hastily passed.

Yuan Hong and Sun Wukong both suppressed their desire for battle, deliberately avoiding a confrontation.

The battle reports from the Southernmost Sea arrived daily at Fox King Island, especially after the involvement of the Nine-headed Insect, Sixth Golden Crow, and Lv Yue. It was almost a matter of crushing dominance as they subdued various Demon Clan powers.

On the other front, Evening Star and Yang Jian had also taken the lead in heading to the Eastern Flame Domain.

Just yesterday, news came back that Yang Jian had caused a huge uproar in the main city of the Eastern Flame Domain. The entire domain was in turmoil because its master, Dongfang Ao, had been defeated by Yang Jian. The fame of Erlang Shen, like a spark igniting a prairie fire, spread throughout the Eastern Flame Domain and even reached the surrounding domains.

"Hahaha! Truly worthy of my Erlang Shen!"

Qin Jun slapped his knee, laughing heartily. Just thinking about Dongfang Ao’s threatening demeanor from ten thousand years ago filled him with glee.

In the hall stood Chang’e, Yuan Hong, and Bai Ze, while Liu Ruolai continued her cultivation. Sun Wukong had gone off to who knows where, and Nezha, Li Jing, and the Six Odd Beasts of Plum Mountain had all led their troops to war.

The aloof Bai Ze and the ethereal Chang’e stood together, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Bai Ze spoke softly, "Your Majesty’s move is indeed brilliant. Not only does it ensure that your name and the Southern Domain become greatly influential across domains, but it also opens up trade routes to other domains."

Having witnessed the might of the Southern Domain, the weak sought to cling to the strong, a daily and cruel rule of survival.

Qin Jun contained his laughter, looking at Bai Ze with a smile, "Miss Bai is actually praising me. It seems my move wasn’t misplaced."

Bai Ze’s talent was well known even to Jiang Ziya, and it was a pity the two had not met since Jiang Ziya had already rushed to the frontline of the battlefield. Otherwise, the encounter between the Human Clan’s top strategist and the Demon Clan’s top strategist would have been truly spectacular.

"You flatter me too much," Bai Ze said softly. Two locks of black hair fell along her cheeks. Her chuckle while shaking her head revealed a stunning beauty that was breathtaking. Though she shared the same aloof temperament as Chang’e, Bai Ze had an added layer of composure and confidence, even bordering on arrogance.

It was as if in Bai Ze’s eyes, nothing in the world could stand in her way.

In her past life with the Primordial Chaos as her playing field, the current events in the Southernmost Sea indeed didn’t catch her interest.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to go as well? It would be more efficient," Yuan Hong couldn’t help but ask.

Each domain was vast, and for Yang Jian and Evening Star to race about everywhere would certainly take a great deal of time.

"No need, you are my trump card. You must dazzle everyone at the banquet!" Qin Jun waved his hand, smiling.

Yuan Hong hesitated to speak further. Qin Jun neither allowed him to participate in the war nor to go to other domains. Having finally had a surge in his cultivation only to find no opportunity to show it off left him feeling like he was on pins and needles.

Qin Jun outright ignored him and turned to Bai Ze with a smile, "Does Miss Bai have any other opinions?"

He had not yet given Bai Ze a formal position, only allowing her to recruit demon soldiers, so he enjoyed referring to her as "miss." It wasn’t out of any other reason but the humor he found in such a formidable Bai Ze being a young lady.

It must be said that although Bai Ze was a woman, her abilities were indeed extraordinary. In a short time, the demon soldiers she recruited had nearly reached two hundred thousand, stationed around Fox King Island without participating in the battles.

"No objections. Now that Your Majesty’s Great Qin Heavenly Court has spread its wings, subduing the Southernmost Sea is only a matter of time. What we need to focus on now is connecting the Southern Domain with the Southernmost Sea. We should select islands to build cities, opening up maritime trade routes, and continuously attracting cultivators to the Southernmost Sea to fully integrate the Human and Demon Clans," Bai Ze spoke softly.

In the Primordial Chaos era, the Human Clan was prey to the Demon Clan. Who would have thought that now she would be striving for harmony between the two clans?

However, she was nevertheless grateful to Qin Jun. At least he hadn’t ordered the massacre of the Demon Clan.

In Qin Jun’s view, in the future Great Qin Heavenly Court, the Human Clan would certainly be the mainstay, but the Demon Clan could also be accommodated since he aimed to be the emperor of all races.

"Mm, you go personally to the Southern Domain Heavenly World and fetch Liu Bowen for me," Qin Jun said with a meaningful nod.

Qin Jun’s nod implied deeper intentions, which Bai Ze instantly understood, a hint of a smile forming on her lips.

Qin Jun was planning to formally integrate her into the Great Qin Heavenly Court, hence he chose to send her to fetch Liu Bowen, the head of the civil officials.
